Blackrock clubman is long regarded as one of the most stylish corners backs ever to come out of Cork
While that was to prove Brohan’s last appearance in Croke Park in a Cork jersey, he was to savour All-Ireland success two decades later as a selector with the great Cork team that won a trio of All-Irelands in 1976, 1977 and 1978 and members of that team today paid tribute to him.
Fellow member of that three in a row team, Denis Coughlan of Glen Rovers said that like many from the Glen and the Barrs, he didn’t really know Brohan until he became involved with Cork and while he offered wise counsel from the sideline, he was also a great man to have in the Cork dressingroom. “There’s great sadness in Blackrock today for Jimmy – Jimmy gave his life to Blackrock – when he finished playing with Cork and playing senior with Blackrock, he continued playing at lower grades with Blackrock – he played junior hurling and intermediate football, no problem at all to him.
“Jimmy played his part in Blackrock’s success in the Cork county senior championships of 1956 and 1961. He won a Celtic cross with Cork senior hurlers in 1954 and was a member of the team which lost out to Wexford in 1956.
